Confess, who buys it instead of drinking tap water and why?
@trev33 saidThe city water where I live tastes heavily of chlorine. One of these days I'll get a filtration system, but for now, I buy Arrowhead at the store.

@trev33 saidBottled water is the only kind of water I drink. Drinking tap water would soon make me and my family very ill. I could boil tap water, bottle it, let it cool, and then put it in the fridge, but I don't.

@wolfgang59 saidIt's tasted this way since I've lived here.
Are you sure?
Water is usually only chlorinated as a temporary measure
against some biological mishap in the supply system.
@wolfgang59 saidDon't you live in Aus. or NZ?
I don't.
The requirements of bottled water fall far below that of tap water.
That is why it is inadvisable to use bottled water to make up baby formula.
Stick your tap water in the fridge and/or carbonate it and you'll be pretty happy.
@suzianne saidI was asking if it was "chlorinated".
It's tasted this way since I've lived here.
@suzianne saidi'm in NZ. The water quality is not as high as UK but pretty good.

I would bet you have better water than a majority of the US.
The bottled water I drink is mountain spring water from protected springs. It's not just "filtered tap water" which is what "purified" or "distilled" water is.
@trev33 saidOnly occasionally and by exception, for example when out walking and don’t have any with me.

@suzianne saidPour it into open jugs and leave overnight, the smell will be gone in the morning. Mostly.

@trev33 saidSome people like fizzy water. It is easier to buy it bottled so, than to make it oneself with a machine and cartridges to 'fizzify' tap water.
